Support the Museum
Please consider a gift to support the University Museum of Contemporary Art.
The museum and its permanent collection play a vital role in educating our students.
UMass and Five College students from across various disciplines of study use the collection
as a resource for building analytical skills in their fields, a catalyst for conversation
around current social issues, and a place to build community.
With your investment, you help UMCA build and diversify our collection with more works
by artists of color and women artists and ensure UMCA continues as a teaching museum.
Thank you!
The UMCA thanks the UMassFive College Federal Credit Union for their ongoing support of our exhibitions.
